History

Flowella was founded in 1909 by promoters Burton and Danforth. The community was planned with a flowing well as its centerpiece. A post office was established in Flowella in 1910. It remained in operation for the next 13 years. Sixty people were living in the community in 1914. The town also had a hotel and general store.

The growth of nearby Falfurrias kept the population of Flowella small. It exists today as a rural, dispersed community.
